Hello,
Because you have both stomach pain and sore throat this may be due to acid refulx and its local effect on the throat.
I would recommend you to take Omeprazole 20 mg twice a day and try to eat frequent small amount of food during the day and avoid big meals and plenty of fluids especially in the second part of the day. Don't eat 3-4 hours before bed.
If no improvement with these please see your doctor.
I hope I have answered to your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
